Marinid architecture shared many characteristics with that of Andalusia. In both traditions, carved wooden friezes, usually placed near the ceiling above panels of stucco, constituted an important part of interior decoration. Here, an arcade of tall cusped arches is inscribed with the Arabic word for "good luck"— forward and backward—below each arch. Conservators have discovered that the rich polychromy evident on the panel actually represents two campaigns: the original phase and a refurbishment of uncertain date.
